The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca is a fresh and compelling series of new English-language translations in eight accessible volumes. Edited by Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, this engaging collection helps restore Seneca� whose works have been praised by authors from Desiderius Erasmus to Ralph Waldo Emerson�to his rightful place among the classical writers most widely studied in the humanities. Hardship and Happiness collects a range of essays intended to instruct, from consolations�works that offer comfort to someone who has suffered a personal loss�to pieces on how to achieve happiness or tranquility in the face of a difficult world. Expertly translated, the essays will be read and used by undergraduate philosophy students and experienced scholars alike. / CONTENTS: Seneca and His World Note on Essays and Their Sequence Consolation to Marcia TIANSLATED BY HARRY M.
